It comprises 5 blocks and 1 shopping centre with totally 4,846 flats. Its name prefix "Chun" means "horse" in English since Sha Tin Racecourse is located in Fo Tan. It was completed in 2020.[2]

The estate was planned as Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme to be sold to public housing tenants.[3] However, concerns were raised that this may impinge on the quota for public rental housing and further lengthen waiting times. Finally, the plan was put aside and the estate was changed to public rental housing.[4]
